Allegedly, Black Friday came about after retailers have been operating at a loss (in the red), only to earn a profit (in the black) on the day after Thanksgiving as holiday shoppers would spend their money on heavily discounted items. However, the real story comes from 1950s Philadelphia where law enforcers would call the day after Thanksgiving Black Friday due to the huge amount of suburban shoppers and tourists that come into the city for the big Army-Navy football game held on that Saturday every year. The resulting Long shifts, inability to take their shift off, and having to deal with shoplifters taking advantage of the huge crowd earned the name “Black Friday”. Not all times are “the more the merrier”. Today, Black Friday is mainly associated as a worldwide shopping sensation where items are heavily discounted.
At a glance, there is little similarities between Thanksgiving and Black Friday. One gives thanks for a great harvest through a feast, while the other is a shopping day. However, on closer look, both of them share the same theme – excess, an excessive feast on Thanksgiving and an excessive number of people and purchases on Black Friday. We might not be too excited about squeezing into our pants and/or between people this weekend but we sure can embrace the intrusion of the excessive holiday spirit.
